So I am trying to figure out the ultimate way to build a character around charisma. 2 of which focus on dips into Paladin and Oracle. That 2 level Paladin Dip for Charisma to saves and that 1 level dip into Oracle for sidestep secret.
I also want to make him semi functional in the front lines so I was thinking Arcane Duelist where he can do sizable damage. This character is based on charisma based abilities first while supporting and some fighting second.
I was looking at this for a build:
Angelkin Aasimar Oracle of Lore 1/Paladin 2/Arcane Duelist X
For stats: (using our groups standard stat distribution package)
Str: 18 (16 + 2)
Dex: 12
Con: 14
Int: 12
Wis: 10
Cha: 20 (18 + 2)
For feats I was looking at:
1. Noble Scion (War)
3. Lingering Performance
5. Weapon Focus (Longspear)
7. Leadership (looking at potentially getting some Noble Scion prestige class instead of this)
9. Flagbearer
11. Discordant Voice
13. Speardancer (would be 7, if I were to take some Noble Scion)
15. Improved Initiative
17. Toughness
Am I missing any other ways to utilize charisma to optimize this kind of character? What are thoughts on getting some levels of Noble Scion in order to grab Leadership.
With the use of Aasimar favored class bonus and banner of the ancient king, I essentially need 10 levels of bard = 15 levels of Bard + 4 from banner to hit the level 17 requirement for +4 inspire courage. If I went with Noble Scion, At level 5 my bardic performance counts as 2 levels higher meaning I only actually need 8 levels of bard with favored class, banner and 5 levels of noble scion. That would look like a character level 16 (8 bard, 2 paladin, 1 oracle, 5 noble scion), not to mention it would free up some feats for me being able to take improved initiative as a 4th level noble scion (with regional expertise) and Leadership for free. (gives me the opportunity at that point to put up to 4 more levels in noble scion, to allow me to have another mini cohort of sorts,2 additional feats and an additional dilettante study which he could apply to bardic performances or to his spell casting)
Sorry thats some simple math going through my mind. I will take any thoughts you guys have!
